All,
I have been having trouble with ZIP parallel. The
ppa driver would detect the drive fine but could never see the partition table.
dmesg:
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,PS2,EPP]
ppa: Version 2.03 (for Linux 2.2.x) ppa: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use EPP 32 bit ppa: Communication established with ID 6 using EPP 32 bit scsi1 : Iomega VPI0 (ppa) interface scsi : 2 hosts. Vendor: IOMEGA Model: ZIP 100 Rev: D.09 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Detected scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 196608 [96 MB] [0.1 GB] sda: Write Protect is off sda:SCSI disk error : host 1 channel 0 id 6 lun 0 return code = 27010000 scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 unable to read partition table ^^^^^^^^ problem! Trying to mount I would get this
message.
"sda4 is not a valid block device"
I changed my BIOS settings from EPP 1.7 to 1.9 and
it works. I changed back and it doesnt work. And back to 1.9 once again
and it works once again. I hope this information helps some users and
developers out there!
Long live Linux!
